Movies, Music, And Media; The Better, The Bad, The Bizarre!

Welcome To Mr. Ohh! Prime! With Premium Access!! (well not really)

I remember... You know, sometimes I feel nostalgic about the old days. You know what I mean; A little house with a porch. An old man with a long beard sitting in a rocking chair. There’s a glass of lemonade on a small unsteady table nearby. An ancient hound-dog lays at his feet, looking like …

If There’s A World Wide Web… I’d Hate To Meet That Spider!!

Mr Ohh! vs. technology When it comes to technology there are several kinds of people. There are the early-adopters, those folks who have to have the newest thing the day it comes out, and know how to operate it, even before it’s been programed. I’m not one of those. Next, there are the ones who …
